Once again annoyed and posting about this elven vampire's canon sexuality because I'm getting increasingly sick of people being willfully ignorant of it...

Astarion is PANSEXUAL. This is CANON.

He is not a asexual. He is not simply gay, either.

I have not played the game, but I have literally watched so many videos and clips that I know enough of his backstory. Neil himself, the actor who played Astarion, has outwardly confirmed that Astarion is, in fact, pansexual.

When romancing him in game, yes, he expresses that he doesn't want you or anyone else to see him in terms of sex--because he is healing from that being all he ever was. Astarion was a prostitute while under Cazador's command. Take note of him mentioning entertaining Cazador's guests in a specific room, one which has a large bed with what looks to be silk sheets on it in the middle of it.

He talks about being confined to the pleasure chambers. If you visit the drow twins and proposition them, there's a chance for dialogue in which he literally outright calls himself an elven prostitute ("You have a type, don't you? Elven prostitutes? Again? It's rather embarrassing, dear.") He also says he's never been on the paying end of a brothel.

His dislike of being sexually objectified comes from a place of trauma that he is trying to heal from.

But wait--there's more.

Because he does eventually heal enough that he desires sex. Specifically with your Tav. Whom he loves. Genuinely.

He brings it up on his own, and wants to act upon it. This occurs in the graveyard, directly on top of his very own grave. This is him taking back his bodily autonomy. Making sex with your Tav special, and his own, and something he wants.

This want will occur regardless of your Tav's gender. Astarion expresses sexual interest in your Tav. He is not asexual.

And for the record, here's the textbook definition of asexuality: adjective--experiencing no sexual feelings or desires; not feeling sexual attraction to anyone. Noun--a person who experiences no sexual feelings or desires, or who is not sexually attracted to anyone.

But Astarion does experience sexual attraction and desire. For your Tav. And it is wildly maddening that people keep finding ways to erase his pansexuality.

Hell, I'd accept panromantic demisexual as a take, considering the fact that yeah, he really doesn't have a preference regarding gender, but his sexual attraction is focused on your Tav. But to pop off saying he's asexual or solely gay is a stretch, and whether you mean for it to be or not, it is pansexual erasure.

Don't get me wrong, headcanon how you want, but don't go blatantly spitting opinions as if they are fact, when his canon lore says otherwise.

Y'all keep spouting about "respecting the character," but then, by disregarding his actual sexuality and preferences end up directly disrespecting the very character you demanded respect for.

"It's rather embarrassing, dear."

Edit: Just to be clear, this doesn't mean I have anything against people who are asexual or gay. Everybody is free to be who they are and have their own preferences, and I love and respect that! This is simply in regards to the character Astarion specifically, because we have been given canon lore and answers in regards to his sexuality, and people have been willfully and blatantly ignorant of it just because of certain aspects of him that they choose to hyperfixate on, which in turn completely eliminates all other aspects of his character and it is extremely disappointing to see happening when we consider how loved this character has become and how many people have resonated with him.

Darya stood staring at her mother who she had looked up to her entire life.

This wasn’t right.

But she knew it was the truth.

And so…

She said to her

You’re no captain.

And I should have seen it long ago.

My dnd character last session and something close enough to what was said :D

[nexdoesthings]

Holy—

This has been a wild ride

We’ve hit the two year mark on the game I’m in and wow

And the next session will be the final one

[nexdoesthings]

Here’s a mostly accurate self portrait sadly my binder doesn’t have the flags :((( and I don’t have elf ears- lmao

But yea

I’m kinda gay in all the ways :)

[fever-dreamer97]

Todoroki: Hey guys, what are you watching?

Izuku: Kitten Football.

Todoroki: Why?

Izuku: It’s randomly came on and now I’m invested. And then Kacchan came in and got into it too. Aw, look Snuggles fell asleep-

Bakugo: SNUGGLES, WAKE THE HELL UP AND GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME, DAMNIT!

Todoroki:

Izuku: Kacchan sees the show differently than I do.

In the dnd game I’m in last night we did a few things:

We spent far too long trying to open a door only to learn it was a sliding door.

The other player had to mute themselves because of how much they were dying XD

We also spent two game days somehow rebuilding a sky ship while the apocalypse is looming.

The sliding door was on the ship.

[nexdoesthings]

Who wants a summary of the dnd game I’m in?

[nexdoesthings]

So

There has been a running gag that on of the characters in the dnd game I’m in is Glamrock Freddy. Here’s why

Characters

Darya: swashbuckler rogue white tiger Tabaxi

My character

Makoto: rogue black dragon borne in the beginning

Now a barbarian

The pc in question

Salvera aka Salsa: bard aarakocra

So this started when it was just me and Mak’s pc and of course the dm

One day Mak’s pc wasn’t there so it was just me and the dm

We were in a dungeon and our dm forgot that Mak was a thing

So I was going down

AND THEN

He remembered

So he says Darya hears the Freddy Faz Bear running from security breach as Mak then proceeds to smite everyone in the room

So it eventually became a thing that we would laugh at when Mak wasn’t there or when he got back

Fast forward to now

Mak’s PC hasn’t been back in a WHILE

So it’s me Salsa’s pc and of course our lovely dm

WHO

HAS DECIDED TO EXPLAIN WHY MAK IS ESSENTIALLY BECOME BRAIN DEAD

So we fought the arch angel Gabriel and Mak got light poisoning

Which essentially in a year

Will turn him into an angel

But he specifically got it in his soul

So he still fights and everything but there’s nothing back there (for now)

This led to a class change and lots of emotions from Darya but most importantly

THUMP THUMP THUMP

Is even more accurate and cannon

[timothylawrence]

Wyll being the youngest of the guys is funny to me

[nexdoesthings]

NOT THE ATTACK LMAO

[nexdoesthings]

In the dnd game I’m in yesterday we discovered something amazing

My friend sent me this after saying something without context and I felt like I needed to share it

The characters

Dm: dungeon master

Darya (Rogue Fighter (Pirate) Tabaxi): my character

Salsa/Salvera (Bard bird): my friend that did this

Makoto/Mak/Mac n Cheese/Freddy Faz Bear (Chaotic ass barbarian dragonborne)

The player/friend that’s been gone so he’s turned into Freddy from security breach

God/Caius (unarmed fighter): NPC we dragged along

So we stepped into basically a boss arena in these super cold icy mountains

Darya rolled stupid high on history and investigation a 31 and nat 20 with a total of 34

She finds a symbol of Tiamat in the floor

(And some other things but what matters is the symbol)

(We have dealt with Tiamat and Asmodeus before when Mak accidentally released hell)

AND OUT OF NO WHERE

MY GOOD PAL

THE PC OF SALSA AKA SALVERA

“Tiamat is Cotten eye joe”

We all started dying

And I was sent this
